Mr. Joe D Cherry

Joe proudly served his country in the United States Army as a Sergeant during the Vietnam War. During his military service, he was stationed in Germany, where he faithfully carried out his duties with honor, dedication, and pride. His service to his country was a source of great pride throughout his life. After his military service, Joe became a successful independent business owner, operating Wimpy’s Hamburgers for more than 20 years. He took great pride in serving his community and built lasting friendships with many of the people who walked through his doors. Later, he worked at AutoZone, where he enjoyed staying busy, helping customers, and sharing his knowledge with others. Joe was an intelligent man with a sharp mind and a talent for fixing almost anything. He especially enjoyed repairing cars and was always willing to lend a helping hand when someone needed his expertise. He also loved dancing, spending time at the river, and making memories with family and friends. His warm smile, generous spirit, and love of life left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.

Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Cecil Cherry and Olivia Smith, and one brother; Don Cherry.

Above all else, Joe was a devoted father, grandfather, and uncle who found his greatest joy in his family. He is survived by his son, Brent Cherry; his daughter, Farrah Bustamante, and her spouse, Bryant Bustamante; his grandsons, Bryant, Jaxson, and Garren; his grandchildren, Aylah and Kaizen; and his beloved niece, Leesa Cherry.

Joe will be remembered for his caring heart, his unwavering love for his family, and the many lives he touched through his kindness and generosity. His wisdom, laughter, and quiet strength will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Although Joe is no longer with us, his love and the memories he created will continue to inspire and comfort his family and friends for generations to come. His legacy lives on in each of those he loved so dearly.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude for the prayers, love, and support shown during this difficult time. Joe Douglas Cherry will be forever loved, forever remembered, and forever missed.

May he rest in eternal peace.
